“You must know that just like our skin, some people have oiler skin than others and that’s exactly the same as our scalp.
“So, naturally in your genes, some people may have a naturally oiler scalp.
“First of all, you need to make sure that you’re shampooing your hair twice every single time because if your scalp is not thoroughly cleaned, and all the oils are not removed properly, then you will get a build-up much quicker and your hair will get greasier quicker.
“Secondly, if you feel like your hair is getting heavy really quickly, sometimes it’s not actually the fact that your scalp is greasy, it may just be that you’ve got a bit of product build-up, or maybe your shampoo and conditioner is too heavy for your hair.
“Just make sure that you’re using something that’s suitable for your hair type, and if you’ve got finer hair, something that’s really lightweight and not gonna weigh it down.
“So you probably notice when you have a really poor diet or you’ve had a bit of a bad weekend with food, you’ll notice it come out in your skin.
“It’s the same with your hair. So if you are consuming lots of oily foods that are high in saturated fats, you are going to see that you’ll get an increase of oil production on your scalp.
“And if you’ve done all them things and you’re still getting an oily scalp, then you may want to think about getting a scalp scrub because that really helps exfoliate our scalp and remove all the dirt and oils giving it a super deep clean.

Others shared their own suggestions, with one writing: “Might also be none of those things, it could be mineral build-up from hard water if you live in a hard water area. I had to get a shower filter head.”
Another said: “Also your hair can get more oily if you wash it too often.”
